It’s a new year, which means it’s time to make your house plans for the next 12 months. If you’re like me, you probably have ideas for renovations and DIY projects in every room, and unless you’re building a new house or doing a full home renovation this year (kudos to you if you are!), you’ll have to pick and choose which projects and rooms will get attention.
Luckily, we’ve put together this renovation issue so you can get all the inspiration, project ideas and information you need to get started. Whether you’re planning to hire a contractor and designer to update your spaces or do the work yourself DIY style, we’ve got great examples for you to follow. Learn how to renovate a historic home to keep its original integrity (page 48), transform a home from any style into farmhouse style (page 102) and add custom farmhouse details to a master-planned home (page 72). If you’re a DIYer, learn how to add farmhouse architecture to your home (page 24), install your own reclaimed wood wall (page 12) or paint tile for a trendy stenciled look (page 85).
